Free Cycling Betting Tips

Cycling often refers to a variety of types of bike racing, including road bike racing, mountain bike racing, bmx bike racing, indoor track bike racing, as well as a host of variations such as the cycling portion of a triathlon. These races can be of varying lengths, from just a few short laps to thousands of miles, such as the well-known Tour de France.

Because of the different demands of cycling courses, bikes have been adapted to perform in varying conditions. For example, a road bike tends to have a more streamlined, aerodynamic form with thinner tires and different gear settings while mountain bikes tend to be smaller so the rider has more control. They also tend to have suspension to absorb the rough terrain. Likewise, bmx bikes are extremely small and meant for jumping and doing tricks. Because of the wide variation in bikes, the various professional racing associations have set standards for bike competitions.

Cycling betting odds can vary from outright winners in tournaments to stage winners of particular events. Many bookmakers offer cycling betting odds, with some offering price boosts on major events, such as Skybet, or enhanced odds like Paddy Power. Let's take a look at the most popular events in cycling and which races are most common in cycling betting.

Road Cycling Betting

There is a huge range of road cycling events available to bet on, the most popular of which is the Grand Tour. Grand Tour refers to any one of the main three road bike races - the Tour de France, Vuelta a Espana and Giro d'Italia. If you're looking for Tour de France betting tips, Giro d'Italia betting or Vuelta a Espana predictions, bettingexpert is the place to be!

Tour de France Betting

The Tour de France is the most prestigious of all road bike races. Founded in 1903, the Tour de France takes place every July over a 23 day period. The most famous of the UCI World Tour races, Tour de France betting is incredibly popular, even with non-cycling fans. As well as Tour de France outright winner betting, stage betting and team winners are also commonly wagered upon.

The Tour de France stages can alter from year to year, though since the mid 1970's the Champ-Elysees has been the location of the final stage. Last stage Tour de France betting is another popular choice in betting circles.

Giro d'Italia Betting

Usually classed as the second most important road bike race in the cycling calendar, Giro d'Italia betting tips and predictions are also well sought after. Another annual cycling event, the Giro d'Italia takes place in May or June every year and its track is located primarily in Italy, though the course runs through nearby countries as well.

As with Tour de France betting, Giro d'Italia betting is also focused on General Classification (overall race winner) outright bets, though stage winners, young rider winners and team winners are also common cycling betting markets.

Vuelta a Espana Betting

The third race of the cycling Grand Tour, the Vuelta a Espana betting odds are also popular. An annual event, the Vuelta a Espana takes place across August and September, with the course running through Spain and neighbouring countries.

General Classification outright betting is the most common way to bet on cycling odds, though time trial betting, team winners and combination betting are also common betting markets.

Track Cycling Betting

Road cycling betting odds may be more popular than other cycling disciplines, but there are plenty of opportunities for profit making on track cycling too. Major track cycling events are as follows:

UCI Track Cycling World Championship

UCI Track Cycling World Cup

UCI Track Cycling World Ranking

National Series Events

As well as race winner betting, World Cup qualification betting, points race betting and time trial odds are also available with many bookmakers. Track cycling is also a popular choice in Olympic Games betting, with a wide range of markets available to make profit on.
